TR-8/Prophet 6/OB-6 - sTR-8 bummin'

Published on Jan 25, 2017 Jae Ryan

"I sold my TR-8 awhile back and it was a huge mistake. I miss it so much. So much that I rented one from work just to have it in my studio. I wanted to throw a quick jam together with it!
The TR-8 is sending midi clock to the Prophet 6 and OB-6. I pre-programmed the synth sequences on their built in sequencers and the rest is all done live. I made a couple mistakes getting to excited with the vari section on the kick drum but left it in anyways. This was one take and turned out decent considering!
While creeping around YouTube tonight I learned that you can technically have 4 individual outs on the TR-8 if you pan the parts you want to separate and used that to my advantage in this video! This also made me realize how much fun I'm going to have using it in my real tracks down the road, but also makes mixing these simple little jams a walk in the park! As usual there's a splash of Lexicon 224 reverb and some stereo delay with modulation from UAD's precision delay!"
